✦ Synopsis

The use of electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to accurately evaluate the absorbed dose to radiation-processed bones (and thus meats) is examined. Additive re-irradiation of the bone produces a reproducible dose response function which can be used to evaluate the initial dose by back-extrapolation. It was found that an exponential fit (vs linear or polynomial) to the data provides improved accuracy of the estimated dose. These data as well as the protocol for the additive dose method are presented.

Free radicals produced in chicken bone tissue by 137Cs gamma-rays were measured using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The yield of radicals was found to be proportional to the absorbed dose. Additive re-irradiation of previously irradiated bones is the basis of a method to estimate the
